This is causing FPS to mess up high GPU usage and game stutter how do I optimize my settings while I'm gaming I'm using Fivem and Steam and discord are the only apps I need running.

Oouuu

#

@lavish thunder thanks

lavish thunder
#

Backup all data just in case.

delicate summit
#

Ok cause I just got this gaming laptop its only a couple months

lavish thunder
#

Sometimes lag could be cause by game servers being overlorded, network congestion

#

if playing on wireless connection, then consider playing on wired(ethernet) conenciton

delicate summit
#

I'm wired

lavish thunder
#

If your laptop is overheating, then consider getting a cooling pad.

delicate summit
#

I was also wondering if something was turning my graphics card off and causing me to run off the other one

#

a cooling pad it does get hot

#

hmm

lavish thunder
#

Check task manager when you're gaming

delicate summit
#

its alot of stuff running I'm going to try the link you sent it might help I thought the gaming mode would do it but it got to be something I installed and forgot about I think we will see.

Thanks

lavish thunder
#

Also, check out your laptop's support page for any updates.

delicate summit
#

I think I figured it out

#

The link you did good but my files were syncing to one drive

#

I paused it and I think the stutter stopped let’s see

lavish thunder
#

Usually, I get no feedback if what I suggested worked... or their issue was solved.

#

Good to know it was Onedrive.

#

I have Onedrive uninstalled on my main PC.

Also, check your anti-virus/ anti-malware programs for a "game mode" or settings you can adjust for gaming. You generally see this in third-party software. I don't believe the built-in Microsoft Defender has such settings, but sometimes controlled folder access under Ransom Protection and Core Isolation under Device Security may flag some game files and processes, asking for further permissions.

I'm still getting a windows API error

lavish thunder
#

Check out the suggestions mentioned there. 😕

lavish thunder
#

More balanced sharing of system resources with it off

delicate summit
#

I'm wondering if its soemthing else. I'm running discord, medal, steam, and fivem all at the same time and not by choice you have to have both steam and discord to even get in the servers.

#

Then medal is for content creation and reporting purposes.

lavish thunder
#

Maybe Windows system files are corrupted.

#

I would run DISM commands first, then run SFC

delicate summit
#

Whats SFC?

#

and how do I know if my its running off the right cpu

#

?

#

I'm not sure if your issue is MSI related directly.

#

I would check directly with FiveM.

lavish thunder
#

That call to Windows API took too long notification could mean many things.

#

Could be how FiveM is using/sharing Windows files with other apps

#

Anyway, I would check that forum out since the Windows API issue was encountered in the FiveM modification of GTA V.

#

It may be worth uninstalling then reinstalling some common apps that you use.

#

You mentioned discord, medal, steam, and fivem...

#

so I would start there

delicate summit
#

Ok Thanks.

#

Its between fivem and medal because I also notice things running way smoother when medal is closed but everyone uses medal for clips so i wonder if there are any alternatives. Is there anything native I can use that MSI already has prebuilt

delicate summit
#

So I just tried to open fivem and this is what my screen said

#

I was reffered to the following link.

Hi! I’ve been hearing that you are encountering an issue with FiveM/RedM/LibertyM being stuck on a colored screen and being unable to proceed. Well, here is a few potential solutions that you can try. This issue is generally caused because of your laptop using the iGPU instead of the discrete GPU. Try this first! Open Windows settings. Cli...

Nice. So was the issue because you were playing off the iGPU and not the discrete GPU?

delicate summit
#

@lavish thunder I thought so but it was set to run off the right GPU but I noticed that it gets worse when medal is running

#

and I don't know enough on what processes to turn off that might be running in the background that I don't need. Fivem is a different beast cause you need Disocrd and steam open to fly in most cities. Medal helps with disputes on roleplay so you can report people. I'm not sure if you familiar with FiveM or not but today I got this message.

#

I do have a NVMe memory card that's 2TB I just don't know how to install it in a laptop kind of scared.

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a driver removal utility that can help you completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system, without leaving leftovers behind (including registry keys, folders and files, driver store).

#

Have you tried DDU?

#

Make sure to backup your data or create a system restore point before running DDU.
